To balance the center of mass out. if he strood straight up, then he would fall over wouldn't he (because the center of gravity is higher up, and slightly behind his back)? it looks like he's leaning forward relative to the hill, but relative to the earth, he's still standing up

for any thing to be balanced the centre of gravity must pass exactly thru the centre and in a straight line.if a person does not lean forward the COG will be passing up thru between his legs and his weight will not b balanced..leaning forward makes the COG pass thru the centre and distributes the weight evenly.

Because if he leans backwards, he'd fall off! LOL

It lowers his center of gravity
